I am confused how he takes off the bass and hands it to a bandmember around 9:55 but the bassline keeps playing, and in fact you can clearly hear an ascending lick happen while it's in the middle of being handed over. By no means of am I accusing him of faking it to a recorded track but....what's up with that black magic?

Maybe that's not the bassline I'm hearing but a keyboard line...or an octaved guitar line...but in any case the bass SOUND doesn't drop out when he stops playing...
